Warning: fake Bohemian Gothic Tarot

It has come to my attention that there are bootleg Bohemian Gothic Tarots for sale coming from Russia/Ukraine.

This is what Karen Mohony one of the wonderful creators of this and many other great decks wrote today:

"WARNING. There are fake Bohemian Gothic decks on the market now. These
are illegal bootlegs from Ukraine/Russia and are very badly done. Please
beware and warn people. How to tell the fakes. Please look at the
photos here. (Facebook Link)1. All prints are over-exposed, glaringly wrong colours
and fuzzy. 2. Deck is smaller and to make the images fit they have just
cropped them (yuck). 3. Box is different. 4. Weird typo on box Poe's
death date is very, very wrong! 5. Russian LWB 6. Most ironic of all -
our copyright notice on the box has been removed."

The quality of these decks is clearly very bad and has nothing to do with the excellent quality that Baba studio is so very well know for.

Here is the page they have made with some images so everyone can see the difference in quality between the original and the fakes.
